B-4

The B4 commander is pretty much dead since the heavy nerf on B4. Nobody will use this commander until B4 is somewhat useful again.

I don't know how anyone can consider giant RNG Bombs to be balanced, this unit has zero consistency and, ironically, seems to avoid hitting the center of the circle on purpose. I test fired it once and out of 10 shots, the center was unscathed while the area around it was completely wrecked.

This thing needs some consistency, the RNG-ness of this unit can win or lose you a game, and both players have very little control over that. This is a unit that can decide a game, based entirely on RNG.

I suggested a way to add the accuracy it needs WITH counterplay


The same way free UKF howitzer are balanced

The basis for that is the Soviets used other Howitzers to range the targets, then altered the calculations for the B-4, which was then fired and was as a result extremely accurate.

While historically using lighter Howitzers to barrage served to disguise the upcoming attack by zeroing in for the B-4, in-game it would serve as an alert that a B-4 is about to fire on that area instead.

i had this idea about the B-4.
infanry sqauds once the B-4 is build can drop a flare(like UKF sections)

I will choose Katyusha any time over ML-20, and ML-20 over B-4...

That could work. Another idea taken from history is that an off-map light artillery barrage could be fired at the target first, then the B-4 firing an accurate shot (the light barrage would be tied to the B-4's barrage). The basis for that is the Soviets used other Howitzers to range the targets, then altered the calculations for the B-4, which was then fired and was as a result extremely accurate.
